Aiming changes in Project Zomboid

Fixed aiming left or right on controller also aiming slightly downwards

On gamepad, pressing the right trigger for gas no longer makes you aim while driving; to aim from a vehicle you now need the right stick and the trigger together.

Using character offset so aimCenter is at chest height.
